Welcome to the 28th Annual Arda Farms and Freeway Angus bull and female sale. We can’t help but think back to last year’s record sale and wanted to again extend our appreciation to all of our bidders, buyers, and friends. Our bulls are backed by generations of proven dams. Bred for longevity, foot quality and structural soundness. These proven performance and no-nonsense genetics are for the cattleman who demand pro tability, durability and productivity. We have a variety of sire groups to choose from, and are con dent their genetics will meet the call of today’s producers. Whether you are looking to have top female replacements or maximize your weaning weights, our bulls are sure to have a lasting impact where it counts.
We invite you to join us March 14th at the ranch in Acme, Alberta. The cattle are available to tour anytime and we encourage you to come out and take a look. Feel free to call us with any questions regarding the cattle and our program.
As always we look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
Sincerely,
The entire gang at Arda Farms and Freeway Angus.
It is with deep appreciation that we acknowledge Dixie Halstead for the 20 years of doing our cattle books for us. She retired last October from coming every Tuesday. She became part of our family and miss seeing her in the office in the chair. Thanks Dixie!!

TWO-YEAR-OLD BULLS
*A note about the two-year-olds... you will notice that the actual weaning weights are light; this is due to the fact that a large portion of our 2023 calf crop were weaned 2 months earlier than they typically would have been due to the severe drought conditions we were dealing with.
